Cybercrime - PICT201
This unit will provide a theoretical and empirical introduction to the study of cybercrime. Students will analyse cybercrime and associated criminology theories with reference to a range of cyber-offences, including hacking, cyber-stalking, online drug distribution and online state/corporate espionage. Legal and policing responses to these offences, and the challenges associated with regulating new technologies will be considered. New and emerging issues associated with cybercrime, including cyber-vigilantism and encrypted internet spaces such as the Dark Net, will also be explored.
